Ok I know not everyones into betting odds but what is the shortest a team has started in a game, we are now $1.04 

I’m not sure how this works but someone must have put money on the Eagles. We’re now at $1.30.ECB53519-AEE9-4975-B632-6D167BA85CA5.thumb.jpeg.7592510b53bb1fc5313125c24df2662e.jpeg

There is ZERO chance Spargo and Nibbler won't be in the starting 22 (unless injured of course). I'm not having a shot at you, but i honestly don't get how any dees fan who is passionate enough ab

I think that’s an error WJ, can’t find anything more than $1.06 for us.

It’s the AFL App with Sportsbet odds. Surely they can’t get such important things wrong?

If that’s from today I’d say the $1.30 would’ve been snapped up in a heartbeat.

I'd keep JJ in, what he doesn't have in burst leg speed is made up with Kossie in the midfield. 

Sparrow as sub (unlucky) and if well on top look to bring him in end of the 3rd qrt for Clarry or Trac. Or look to bring Sparrow in a way to reduce mins for Trac and Clarrie.

It wouldn’t be a real time connection which means it would be manually updated by someone. 

People be on holidays.

Can’t se Hibberd getting up with a sore Achilles. I reckon Tomlinson is a chance to replace him as tall defenders will be needed to cover Oscar Allen and Darling. 

I assume he must have been able to complete full training Thursday, and Tuesday training was just a recovery stretch and walk. I also guess, any imaging of the injury must have not shown any hot spots.

If that training pattern is repeated, how will Hibbo keep fitness without a full workload?

Achilles problems are a fluctuating injury and he has been managing it for a few years now.

Could also be the selectors are playing games, but why, when West are forced to choose from the underdeveloped players.

Remember how they said they were doing Thursday teams? Has that been thrown in the trash again?

As they've done for decades, all teams are announced on Thursday but for Sunday games extended squads are named. The final 22 is trimmed on Friday, and the sub named on game-day as usual.

Tomlinson or Turner me thinks.

Turner isn't named in the squad. If Hibberd is going to be withdrawn, it will be Tomlinson.

Yeah maybe. It has chopped and changed a lot though.

Other than COVID, I think the only change has been the drop time, which used to be 5pm but was moved to 6.20pm to allow Channel 7 to announce the teams "first" during their news bulletin.

During COVID teams were announced the day prior, which was in part at least because we were playing games mid-week to make sure we had a complete season.

That's right. 

The Thurs games have confused things a bit for me in recent years. Seemed like yesterday's extended team was announced at 3:30-4 around the time of the presser. It's hard to tell if posts in the pre game on Thurs are actual teams or people still making predictions.

It really hasn't?

During covid it was always announced the day before. Things went back to normal last year.

It could be that the one time it changed was enough to throw me off into an alternate universe that is actually the same.

Have the times of release on the day changed Daz? With the advent of Thurs night footy at least?

I know we have a different team now however I don't ever remember the MFC winning by a " very large margin" hardtack.

74 points in a grand final will do me fine for a very large margin :D

I don’t get it… 

For me he leaves at the end of the year and I don’t blame him. Definitely deserved his spot this week

I don't blame him either and I hope for his own career sake. 

He'll be better appreciated somewhere else.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
